Activision and Treyarch announce that a double XP weekend is now underway for Call of Duty: Black Ops on all platforms. Here's word:

We wanted to let you know that Treyarch is hosting their first Double XP multiplayer weekend starting at 10:00am Pacific, Friday, February 4th through 8:00am Pacific, Monday, February 7th. Anyone playing in multiplayer matches on the Xbox 360, PS3, Wii or PC versions of Call of Duty: Black Ops will earn double XP rewards and level up.

You lucky dog....I have lots of problems the last couple weeks with my profile saving points....oh well. I am sure it won't get better this weekend with everyone taxing the servers to hell and back. I dinged one before work tonight. Back to level one....which I actually enjoy....

Level 40-50+1 is such a grind.

Oh and I misspoke. Challenge points don't double. Just battle points. So flag caps, actions, and kills....so maybe not much less time to level up as before unless you are crazy mad at a K to D ratio....

Without playing newbtown all day, you can prestige in around 8-12 hours with good fun gameplay.

Now, you can cut that in abuot half, so probably prestige 2x this weekend.

Holy crap man?! How do you level that fast? Play aggressively, don't use the same weapons, do contracts, don't camp. Try looking at the bonuses, contracts, perks, etc to get all of the bonuses and upgrades to get points faster. It isn't uncommon from level 1-40 to get 20-30k points a map. So now make that 40-60k a map.

It would help if they'd fix the attachments bug; they still don't reset for me after I prestige. Most of them have been maxed for me since my second prestige.

I'll probably jump back into Black Ops this weekend to peg a prestige or two, though I've recently discovered Monday Night Combat, so my time may be split somewhat.
